This was the first time the Eurodam had left this port, and as most of the bad parts of the review will be about this issue, I will get it out of the way up front. Unorganized. The BEST thing about the ship is that it is NEW, still has that new ship smell in most areas. The WORST thing about the ship is that it is NEW. There is much that is still unorganized and leads to confusion and frustration of the guests. That brings us to the guests- average age was about 70. I just hit the double nickel and felt like a youngster. There was one child that I saw under 10 years old and possibly three more young people under 25, then it was late 40s, a sprinkle of 50's and the curve went up from there.

Check in was fairly smooth, with only three clerks being involved and the computers loosing communications fairly often. They didn't put my wife and I on the same credit card, so we were called back to give them another 15 minutes of laptop resets. We were not the only ones who thought the process could be smoother. Other reviewers mention the NEW staff. This must extend to the pier personnel also. But as this was the first time for this ship, hey- there has to be a learning curve.

The ship is NEW, beautiful, and - I believe- ELEGANT. The crew was very attentive and we were always greeted with smiles and either "Good Morning", "Good Afternoon", or "Good Evening" by every crew member we would pass in the common areas. We had an ocean view stateroom and were pleased with its size and storage facilities. Drawers under the foot of the beds and under the loveseat add extra storage. This is the first time I can remember NOT using all the drawers. The ship is still clean, but one area on our deck, Main deck, amidships port side has a "sewage" smell and now tobacco smoke is starting to linger in the casino and stateroom hallways. Read more
